  • Since

    1989

The Kutch Fodder Fruit and Forest Development Trust is emerged from a deep concern for the region's deteriorating environment due to rampant deforesta Read moretion, which had led to a decline in vegetative cover, erratic rainfall, and frequent famines. Historically known for its lush greenery and prosperity, Kutch faced severe ecological challenges, prompting the trust’s founders to take action. The initiative aimed not only to restore Kutch’s ecological balance but also to revive its nature-based economy. With forests disappearing rapidly, communities dependent on natural resources for their livelihood were becoming increasingly vulnerable. The trust recognized the urgent need to intervene before environmental degradation caused irreversible damage to the region. Through dedicated efforts, the Kutch Fodder Fruit and Forest Development Trust has been instrumental in promoting sustainable afforestation, improving biodiversity, and ensuring environmental stability. By addressing deforestation and advocating for responsible land use, the trust continues to work towards restoring Kutch’s ecological and economic equilibrium, fostering a greener and more sustainable future for the region.
